Hey littlealex, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

The file types that are included in your photos tab can be found in this article.

 

So, since .avp and .avb files should not be included, can you tap on "account", then on the gear icon and then on "clear cache", to see if that helps?

 

Keep me posted.

    Tried that but no change. Still multiple avb and avp files in the Photos tab. I tried deleting and reinstalling the app but still the same.

        How do I do that? You'll appreciate I don't want to post the contents of my photos here.
